DAYTON – Scott Moss’ resume isn’t a very long one. Were the left-hander auditioning for a normal job instead of one as a baseball player, he’d probably have to hand prospective employers a list of his achievements on an index card.
He spent three years at the University of Florida, but pitched only 23 innings. He made five starts, only one of which lasted longer than three innings.
Last year, the Cincinnati Reds looked past Moss’ sparsely populated game log and selected him in the fourth round of the draft. He signed for $577,400, a bonus that came in slightly above the suggested draft slot value.
